Isn't QT's dual licence policy basically this?
Thanks for mentioning it. I searched for it but I cant find the clause you're referring to. Feel free to provide a source.
That's because "Dual License" means there are two licenses. Anyone can use it under the terms of the LGPL. If a company doesn't want to abide by those terms, they can pay them not to by buying one of the commercial licenses
